once more unto the breach. Dear friends, once more well, close up the wall With our English dead in peace, there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility. But when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger Stiffen the sinews. Summon up the blood disguise Fair nature with hard favored rage Vinland the eye A terrible aspect Let pry through the portage of the head like the breast cannon that the brow well, mitt as fearfully as doth a Golod Rachael hanging jetty His confounded base swilled with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit to his full height On on your Nobelist English, whose blood is fet from fathers of war proof fathers that, like so many Alexanders have in these parts from morn til even fought and sheathed their swords for lack of argument Dishonor not your mother's now attest that those whom you called fathers did beget you Be copy now to men of Derosa blood and teach them how to war. And you good Yeoman, whose limbs were made in England. Show us here the mettle of your pasture. Let us swear that you are worth your breeding, which I don't. But there was none of you So mean and base that hath not noble luster in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips straining upon the start The games of foot Follow your spirit. And upon this charge, cry God for Harry England and ST George.
